Note that I do not have access to Windows 2003, so you will probably
have to debug this yourself...

This could be a cygipc under 2003 problem -- adjusting PostgreSQL
parameters most likely will not have any affect.

Does ipctest work?
$ ipctest h
Test v0.03
Shared memory segment 132 created
shmat return code= 0
shmat ok adr= 0x680000
ok
Does removing the cygipc temp files help?
$ rm -fr /tmp/MultiFile* /tmp/cygipc_?
Does making /tmp world writable help?
$ chmod 777 /tmp
If none of the above helps, then you will have to build a debug version
of cygipc, rebuild PostgreSQL against it, figure out which cygipc
operation is failing with ENOMEM, and *why* it is failing.
